Location: Somewhere on the beachhead of Peleliu 

After hitting the beaches of Peleliu and securing a beachhead so other forces could move further inland to aid the Marines leading the assault. However it was now dark and the American forces were now resting up for the big attack on the airfield the very next day. 

Team Hunters were currently resting in a make-shift foxhole that was big enough for all of them to sleep in and Blake was on look out first before Ruby took her place. Ruby herself wasn't resting at the moment as she was writing down the events that had unfolded during the attack in her journal, writing for Ruby gave her a chance for others to remember what she did when she wouldn't be around anymore. 

'Man everyday this war just gets even more worse then the day before it.' Ruby thought to herself as she wrote in her Journal. 'As of now I can only hope I am doing the right thing to help end this war.'

Just then some footsteps were heard approaching the fox hole and Blake turned around to see another Marine walking up to the fox hole and then stopped when he saw Blake looking at him.

"Uh...Hi." He said quietly.

"Can I help you with something Private?" Blake asked with a confused face. 

"Do you have room for one more?" The Private Marine asked. "Everyone else is full."

Blake then looked at Ruby to know what she thought of his question and Ruby nodded at Blake and she turned to look back at the Private. 

"Sure, jump in." Blake answered and the young Marine the slid into the fox-hole with little trouble and sat down. But when he got a better look at the others he was sharing the fox-hole with he noticed they were all girls and not men. 

"Um are any you girls really old enough to serve in the Marine corps?" the Marine asked as he didn't think that the Marine corps would allow women to fight at the frontlines alongside men. 

"Yes, we are all old enough." Ruby answered. "And besides they saw what we could do to fight enemy soldiers, what name by the way private?"

"Private C. Miller 1st Marines." Miller answered. "And You are?"

"Captain Ruby Rose 1st Marines." Ruby replied. "The one with Blonde hair is my sister Sargent Yang Xiao Long, the one with white hair is Sargent first class Weiss Schnee, the one whose on watch in Corporal Blake Belladonna, and finally the corpsman in the group Corporal summer Rose." 

"Wow... you all have very impressive ranks." Miller said. "How did you all get through basic?"

"Well it is quite a story." Ruby said and then began to tell her story.
